Steps:
- Mix together the mashed potatoes, beaten egg, grated cheese, flour, jalapeno pepper, and green onions until you have an even mixture. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in the pan until shimmery or until it reaches 350°F on a deep-frying thermometer. Carefully drop spoonfuls or use a small cookie scoop to drop small rounds of the batter into the hot oil. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes, or until deep golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the Cheesy Jalapeno Potato Poppers to a paper-towel lined plate to drain and immediately sprinkle with salt to taste. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture in as many batches as needed.
- Serve hot, or chill the leftover, fried Cheesy Jalapeno Potato Poppers on a sheet pan, then freeze until solid and transfer to a resealable zipper top bag.

TATER POPPERS
These poppers are out of this world. I loved the onion and chives cream cheese mixed with the potatoes. It gave extra flavor and made them real creamy. And really, what's not great wrapped in bacon? Bring these to a tailgate and you'll be a winner!

Steps:
- Boil potatoes for 30-45 min or until fork slides through easily, strain out all water.
- Mash potatoes with butter & cream cheese, until almost like a puree. Pre-heat oven to 400.
- Fill jalapenos with mashed potatoes. An easy way to do this is fill a Ziploc bag with potatoes, cut away a corner, and then squeeze out of hole. This makes for easy and pretty filling.
- Next, take a full slice of bacon, starting on top at one end, wrap around the jalapeno all the way to other end fully covering.
- Bake for 40 min on a sheet pan. Remove from oven and let rest on paper towels to soak up excess grease. For easier, less greasy cooking, place bacon wrapped tater jalapeños on a baking rack over top of a sheet pan.
JALAPENO POPPER CHICKEN CASSEROLE
This Jalapeno Popper Chicken Casserole is super comforting. It's rich and cheesy, and it has just a bit of heat from the jalapenos. It's a perfect way to use up leftover chicken or turkey, too. -Kerry Whitaker, Carthage, Texas
